Performance

A few responses indicated a different process:
At Providence, provisional staff must participate in CMEs and IMGs are registered through the IMG program.
At RIH a 360 review is used.
VIHA Physician Recruitment manages this process for their hospital sites.
8. How do you manage the files and administrative work around physician performance (i.e.: software, excel spreadsheet, database, paper files)?
Most hospitals manage the files around physician privileging with paper files. Many responses indicated to refer to question 8 from section one, since the process
is the same.
9. What, if any information related to physician performance, do you report to your HA?
In some cases no information related to physician performance is reported to the respective HA. When information is reported, it includes:
Any issues that arise, even if dealt with at a local level.
Annual Reviews and 360 reviews.
Outcomes of reviews of specific clinical cases.
Compliance with clinical audit.
10. Are there any instances where information related to physician performance would be reported to BCs Ministry of Health? If yes, please describe
them.
Greater than half of the responses indicate there are no instances where information related to physician performance would be reported to the Ministry.
However, some sites stated they would report:
Health provider performance undermined by health.
Illegal actions/serious breaches of professionalism.
